Where No Man
Oh, Spock, I had such hopes for our adventure
Lifting off with an ice chest, a stained glass window in the trunk
Our beautiful Madison, howling Siamese curses from his crate
Think of the worlds we could discover
Two great friends with a shared purpose
But liftoff had its traumas, the unexpected
Was it lack of room, of air
The juddering of engines
The cold of all that empty space
Sure, we pressed the mission
With steely determination
But groundlessness left us drifting
Finding an orbit shook us to pieces and broke our fragile bonds
Now a continent spreads between us
Oh, Spock, sometimes
I wish we’d just stayed home.
